John Tillman Co Information

In 1928 a welder named John Tillman, frustrated with the quality and performance of leather gloves and garments available, founded his own factory seeking to provide quality gear for his friends in the California oil industry. What began as a small operation catering to specific professional needs grew over 95 years into a leading welding and industrial safety brand demanded by trade workers across multiple industries. Tillman’s success lies in superior design tailored to emerging techniques, selection of only the finest materials, attention to critical details, and a commitment to the highest quality standards. With a product line that now spans over 1,000 SKUs including gloves, clothing, blankets and more, today’s John Tillman Co. continues the founder’s legacy of innovation to keep tradespeople safe on the job.
